1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Data on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to cerebrovascular disorders is limited. This study aimed to describe the characteristics, outcomes, and annual trends of outcomes for OHCA originating from cerebrovascular disorders. Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis using an Utstein-style Japanese National Registry. Adult patients with OHCA due to cerebrovascular disorders and transported to the hospital between 2005 and 2021 were included. The primary outcome was a favorable neurological outcome at 30-day. We analyzed factors associated with outcomes using a multivariable logistic regression model, then evaluated annual trends of outcomes for cerebrovascular-induced OHCA. Results: Among 2,081,023 OHCA patients, 52,969 had cerebrovascular-induced cardiac arrest. Of these, 1903 (3.5 %) achieved a favorable neurological outcome. In the multivariable logistic regression model, male sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.41, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.20-1.61), initial shockable rhythm (aOR 3.10, 95 % CI 2.18-4.40), witnessed cardiac arrest (aOR 1.92, 95 % CI: 1.57-2.34), and prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (aOR 11.1, 95 % CI: 9.09-13.5) were associated with favorable neurological outcomes. Prehospital adrenaline administration was negatively associated with favorable neurological outcomes (aOR 0.22, 95 % CI: 0.16-0.30). The proportion of patients with favorable neurological outcomes increased over time, rising from 3.14 % in 2005 to 4.12 % in 2021. Conclusions: Although OHCA due to cerebrovascular disorders is generally associated with poor neurological outcomes, 3.5 % of the patients with cerebrovascular-induced OHCA in this study had favorable neurological outcomes, with a yearly trend improving over decades. Patient characteristics associated with a higher likelihood of a favorable neurological outcome included prehospital ROSC, initial shockable rhythm, and witnessed cardiac arrest.
